What 賓 means
賓 preserves a Japanese glyph form for 賓. In context, read it as 賓; the separate encoding does not add a new character meaning.
Its traceable encoding history starts with JIS X 0213, a Japanese character-set standard established in 2000 to extend the earlier JIS X 0208 set. This form supports round-trip conversion: text can pass through Unicode and return to its source standard without losing the requested Japanese glyph. The date marks the standard, not the glyph's first use.
Use 賓 for ordinary text; keep 賓 for source conversion
For ordinary Japanese writing, use 賓 unless a source-specific conversion requires 賓. This compatibility form is not a decorative alternate; its purpose is to preserve an encoding distinction.
Unicode compatibility normalization, such as NFKC, maps 賓 to 賓, so the requested glyph distinction can disappear.
Technical and source-specific; it signals preservation of a Japanese glyph form.
Do not use 賓 as a decorative substitute for 賓; normalization can fold it back.
